Trivia

• Midgard is the term in Norse mythology for Earth, the world of men. The word means "Middle Enclosure", as Earth was at the center of the World Ash Tree, Yggdrasil (which represented the universe and from which the nine worlds of Nordic myth hung suspended).
• It is fitting that Hyoga, as the Cygnus Saint, briefly ended up as one of the God Warriors, as they are based on Nordic/Germanic myth and Wagnerian opera. In Germanic myth, there is a legend about a swan knight, usually named Lohengrin (Loherangrin), who arrives from nowhere in a boat drawn by the graceful birds to protect a maiden in danger of losing her inheritance. He soon marries her, but in return for his services, he asks that she never ask his real name. Ultimately, his bride is persuaded to ask the forbidden question; the swan knight reveals his name and his position as a knight who guards the Holy Grail but, due to the wife breaking her promise, he has to now leave her (in some variants, this is because a Grail Knight is forbidden to do good deeds unless they are done anonymously, as per the virtue of Humility). He steps back into his swan boat and departs, never to be seen again. This legend was adapted by the composer Richard Wagner into the famous opera Lohengrin.
